We Honor Our Veterans!

We honored our veterans at church today - thanking those present and those who have passed on for the service they gave to our country.  One of our very own, Michael Dixon, an army veteran, delivered a powerful message about putting on the Whole Armor of God.  Before the message there was a mention of the mantra that is upheld among those serving in the military.  The Airman's Creed:  “I will never leave an airman behind;"   the Soldier's Creed: “I will never leave a fallen comrade;"  the Marine's Creed:  "We never leave a Marine behind.  If you see a fellow Marine who needs help, step up and step in." 

Brother Dixon spoke about the Whole Armor of God.  Ephesians 6:11-18.

We are in a battle as christians.  To fight this battle it is important that we go in prepared with

• your loins girt about with truth,

• and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

• And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

• taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

• take the helmet of salvation, and

• the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

We are Soldiers in the Army of the Lord!  Go prepared!
